History's first trillionaire is a guy who catches rockets out of the sky with chopsticks and beams internet to every dead zone on the planet. Same guy ships cars that drive themselves, humanoid robots for the factory floor, brain chips that let paralyzed people move a cursor with pure thought, and an AI running on a supercomputer his team stood up in months instead of years. And the people crashing out about his net worth are doing it on the app he owns. The same app governments spent years trying to censor. You cannot legislate a rocket into orbit.

Actually, about this: Elon once offered the UN $6 billion for World Hunger in 2021 - on the condition that the UN provided Open Source Accounting and allowed him or anyone else to track and audit exactly where the money was spent on. Which I think is a fair request considering that UN had multiple high-profile embezzlement cases such as what happened in Somalia in 2010 and Ethiopia in recent years. There's even one being actively probed right now in Sudan. UN has not have a good track record of monitoring where other people's money go to, and that's an understatement. The UN's response? They said they would at best, offer summaries and high-level category reports...which is not very helpful. It was also not going to be an open ledger, so no one outside of UN leadership could see where the money would go to. So...the offer fell through because the UN was unable to provide trackable details on where the money goes to, making auditing extremely difficult. The rest is history, which is now being actively memory-holed by you OP. Sure hate Elon that he bought Twitter, at least be fair.
people starving all around the world and this asshole has a trillion dollars btw

This is a sexual assault—unknowingly captured by a mom filming her daughter’s wrestling match. Kallie didn’t know her opponent was male. But she knew something was very wrong. Today @ADFLegal helped Kallie sue the WA officials who placed gender ideology above her safety. 🧵⬇️

Few things in Washington are more predictable than Congress renewing surveillance powers and promising to reform them later. I spoke on the House floor against the “temporary” clean reauthorization of the unconstitutional FISA 702 program.

Here we go again; the House is going to debate a clean reauthorization of the unconstitutional FISA 702 program tonight. This program is used to surveil Americans without a warrant. I’ll be joining the @cspan debate on the floor in the next hour… in opposition to this madness.

OTD 2023 my @nypost bash: Washington Post held a pity party for federal contractors who destroyed our freedom of speech. The mainstream media have less interest in exposing Biden's federal censorship than a 1920s Mississippi sheriff had in solving a Klan lynching

Gas prices hurt every American family, and Washington's response is always the same: more regulations, more mandates, more government control over your choices at the pump. My Fuel Choice and Deregulation Act does the opposite. It removes EPA barriers blocking alternative fuels, opens the market to real competition, and lowers gas prices.

Ethiopia was never colonized. For much of its history, it was one of the poorest countries on the continent. Meanwhile, Vietnam was colonized by the French, devastated by decades of war, and is now on its way to serious economic prosperity. If colonialism were the answer to why Africa is poor, Ethiopia should be rich and Vietnam should be broke. Neither is true. Can we please retire this excuse?

In June 2020, 1,288 public health experts published a letter saying "consciously anti-racist" rallies attended by thousands were justifiable but demonstrations by "white protesters resisting stay-home orders" were not, shredding public trust in authority that has not recovered.

Not sure the context of this but I assume another UK cop was being a twat again.
